<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3047357, member: 17665"][USER=81425]@Arvin[/USER] Speaking only for myself, I do not believe there is any such thing as a "perfect" coin. If one looks hard enough they will find some sort of even the smallest imperfection. But TPG's do grade many coins on a massive scale for dealers and all of them have let some slip through that may be less than 70's. This 70 craze will find a way someday, to come back and bite people where it hurts. (financially) Best to buy these in hand from a dealer so you can better judge for yourself if you think it truly is a 70 rather than buying online and find out it was one that was overlooked and graded wrong. Unless it's a very low mintage item, best to buy the coin and not the holder. Very similar to buying coins listed as "slider" B.U. In most cases these are AU. But the terminology can confuse newer collectors. Also "premium" B.U. in which most cases can also be high AU.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
